What plug are you using that makes a Hawk fight a Escort Carrier?
And I agree a Destroyer will kick a Frigate's ass most of the time, otherwise they will disable each other.------------------

It's JoolZman5, not JoolSman5.
And I dunno why, but somehow it's the exact opposite for me: as long as both the destroyer and the frigate start out with full shields/ammo, and there's no other ships fighting, the destroyer always wins. Hmmm... maybe you're just imagining things, PlanetPhil.

Rebel Cruiser is proably the best, but it's much more fun piloting a rebel destroyer. So my vote goes to the destroyer.

i'm only one man -
The best ship is the Confed Cruiser.
Why?
In standard EV, I favor firepower over performance. In plugins though...
Plugin authors frequently create powerful, massive weapon outfits, but they rarely adjust the space on the standard EV ships. Further, the authors restrict the space in most of their new ships to prevent the player from becoming overly powerful. So in the plug, I can mount a maximum load of the new weapons in the spacious Confed Cruiser, but not the Rebel Cruiser. With the new outfits, the Confed Cruiser is (usually) able to whoop the plugin authors' funky new ships too

Did you count my vote already because one of the Mods took my posts off. So I'll have to vote the Rebel Cruiser. (Crowd Applauses) (Being Sarcastic).

yeah.. i did see a hawk kill an escort carrier....
i mean, so ......
OKAY.... the mantas had all been destroyed by me
and
MAYBE..... it had lost all its secondary weapons
and....
MAYBE... id used a plug in to give hawks particle beams....hehe

I have to say that my favorite ship is the Confed Cruser. it is a bummer this game aint multi player, or i'd whoop yer arse with my confed cruser! It has the most shield, the most armor, the most guns the most cargo, and the most slow engines:P but if you give it all three engine upgrades, an after burner, two fuel tanks, 5 proton cannons, a hawk bay and 16 hawks, 76 patrol ships(i am not kidding, or cheating. read my thread on the bug i found, and you can have 76 patrol ships too), and 6 rebel destroyer escorts, and it kicks butt.
For my second favorite ships i have to say the destroyer is way better than the Confed Frigate.(the only thing that is bad is it has almost no crew, so it is hard to capture a bigger ship, or escorts :p) The Rebel Cruser is my third favorite ship, as it had too little space, it's shields are weak, it's fighters are far better than the confed crusers(cause they launch fast), but it does not have the space to really outfit it with many nice weapons.
My vote definatly goes for the confed cruser, i was just pointing out the advantages, and my outfit of the other two good ships.------------------

dude, we all know that the scoutship is the best, it's there when ever we need it. you can get it after 4 missions and keep it until you get the 10 mil credits you need for the kestrel. overall its the best ship, i've destroyed corvettes with my supped up scoutship.

I'll have to say that the best ship is the Manta, but not because it is strong and bristling with guns, turrets, and fighter bays, because it is not. Here are the main reasons I nominate it:
1. Speed: If you can match it, you're in a Defender, which means that you're lacking key brain cells. These little babies can outrun javelins, missiles, torpedoes, and heavy rockets, delivering you out without a scratch every time.
2. Weaponry: Although it can't match the 'Fed patrol ship with its forward guns brute power-wise, it more than makes up for it with the fact that they are swivel guns- which means that you don't have to run straight down the path of the enemy's cannon. and while it doesn't have the brute strength of the 'Fed gunboat's heavy rockets, the gunboat can never get close enough to use them, as the Manta's missiles can easily destroy it from afar.
3.Sheild regeneration: Hit it with a missile, and a few seconds later it's basically unharmed. AWESOME regeneration- perfect for the Monty Python Maneuver.------------------
